I've had about half a dozen Raspberry Pi in total (only 1 through 3), and many dozens of SBCs, and I found Raspis generally unreliable except for the Raspberry Pi 1 (model B), which is extremely slow for anything nowadays. The longest

They had authorization for recurring payments, so they pulled those 1200 without my interaction. PayPal said I didn't provide evidence that I provided: that the credit is still there unused, siding with them as arbiter against the evid

It just says 1200€ in credit, but it's exactly the cost oof that instance if you have it hourly for a month. Ordering the month would have been lower than that.

Yes, in the moment I ordered a GPU instance with per hour billing an invoice for about 1 month of that instance was charged as "credit". They say I did it, but at no point I filed such order, and if I did, at no point that amount

It's not worse, aside from chats being unencrypted by default. I've had suggestions on Instagram of people who I never got in touch with, only because my wife, who has no FB account, is in the same WhatsApp group as these people.
